CLOSED BETA UPDATE 0.2.24
It’s another batch of polish and goodness, in your favorite frequently-updated Roguelite!
For your viewing pleasure, we’ve got a bunch of polish from watching recent streams over the last week, as well as a MUCH more engaging end of run/achievement/unlocks screen (we never really liked the old ones that interrupted you while playing.) And you can now Master items (and actually see the progress clearly in your Murderpedia) by winning games with them!
And...a giant [DEV] section of patch notes with under-the-hood setup for Big Stuff coming in the not-too-distant future. W00t, we’re excited!
Enjoy!
